"Javert's Arrival" lyrics
(performed by Rich Herbert, Anthony Warlowe & Philip Quast)
(from "Les Misérables: The Complete Symphonic Recording" soundtrack)
[Javert:]
Listen my friends, I have done as I said
I have been to their lines
I have counted each man
I will tell what I can
Better be warned, they have armies to spare
And our danger is real
We will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel
[Enjolras:]
Have faith! if you know what their movements are
We'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power
[Javert:]
I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force
Hit us from the right
[Gavroche:]
Liar!
Listen my friends, I have done as I said

Better be warned, they have armies to spare
And our danger is real
We will need all our cunning

[Enjolras:]
Have faith! if you know what their movements are
We'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power
[Javert:]
I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force
Hit us from the right
[Gavroche:]
Liar!
